When we search for how to have healthy relationships, we will find loads of information on the different steps, key things we need, and the three C’s that is needed.
I do agree with some of what I have read, but I want to add my own believe into the mix. Personally for me individuals can only have a healthy relationship when they are emotionally Intelligent.
How can a person who lacks insight into how they are felling, or who is still carrying baggage from their past add to a healthy relationship?
How can I understand my co-worker and how they communicate if I am unaware of my own self? We are able to give empathy and become more patient with others when we manage our own feelings well.
The higher our EQ (emotional Intelligence) is the more likely we are to get along with others. We don’t have to like everything about them, agree with them, or become best friends. When we have self and social awareness we have the ability to recognize emotions and impact in both ourselves and others. Your EQ develops you to be a better leader, friend, boss, spouse, partner, parent, sibling, all around better person.
The world has enough drama without us adding to it. If each of us did our part to mature and take responsibility for our own emotions, we would really enjoy our life. We can not control others, but it does feel powerful to have your own freedom when it comes to how others affect you daily.
We really can get along if we grow our EQ.
Here is an exercise you can do the next seven days..
Pause and ask yourself how is my mood affecting my thoughts and decision making?
Hope you stay safe, and stay growing your EQ!
Living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift. – Oprah Winfrey
